Mama'S Salsa Recipe

• 12 cups tomatoes, chopped
• 5 cups onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup pickling salt
• 1 cup vinegar
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon red pepper, crushed
• 3 cups green peppers, chopped
• 10 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste

1. Sprinkle pickling salt over chopped tomatoes and onions and let stand overnight.
2. In the morning drain all liquid from the veggies and place the veggies in a large stock pot.
3. To the pot add the vinegar, sugar and crushed red pepper.
4. Bring to a boil and boil for 45 minutes.
5. Add chopped green peppers, minced garlic cloves and tomato paste and boil for 20 minutes.
6. Pour into hot sterilized jars and place in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
7. NOTE: To make Sweet & Hot Salsa I removed all of the garlic cloves, reduced the green peppers to 1 1/2 cups & used 1/2 tablespoon ground (cayenne) red pepper instead of the crushed red pepper. Just a few simple changes but the flavor is amazing!
